Exercise in the treatment of binge eating disorder
Article Abstract:
The effects on women being treated for binge eating disorder (BED) is examined in relation to an exercise intervention. Exercise is useful in treating BED. Women suffering from BED raised their level of physical activity and frequency of exercise upon receiving treatment. This increased physical activity related to a decrease in the incidence of binge eating. Women practicing abstinence from binge eating had a greater increase in overall physical activity. However, exercise is not related to either weight loss or symptoms of depression.
